I highly doubt you will find a PCI card that could play F.E.A.R or SWAT 4.

What are the specs on your comp?

best pci card is the 5700LE, which would play those games but probably all on low/med settings

It all depends on his computer specs, i bet it would play those games around Low settings. maybe medium on some of them.

Yea i agree. Using a PCI slot for a video card is like using USB 1.0. The hardware might be fast but it cant talk to your motherboard fast enough and it wouldnt perform they way you would want it to. I would definitly upgrade to a motherboard with PCI-E or at least AGP 8x.

Agreed, upgrade mobo th at least AGP 8x and get a better card. A 5700LE won't play F.E.A.R. to your liking, or most any other "newer" games.
